Description
Condition Notes: This hardcover copy of “Hope Of Living Long And Well: 10 Steps to look younger, feel better, live longer” by Francisco Contreras MD is a well-preserved vintage book. While showing some signs of age and gentle use, the binding remains sturdy, and the pages are intact and legible.
In the late 20th century, as the Baby Boomer generation approached middle age, there was a growing interest in longevity and anti-aging practices. Dr. Contreras, a respected physician and author, tapped into this cultural zeitgeist with his comprehensive guide to healthy aging. Combining the latest scientific research with practical advice, he offered a holistic approach to maintaining vitality and youthfulness well into one’s later years.
This book stands as a time capsule of the era’s fascination with extending not just lifespan but also “healthspan” – the years of active, vibrant living. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate Contreras’ forward-thinking perspectives on diet, exercise, stress management, and preventive care, which laid the groundwork for many modern wellness philosophies. A valuable addition to any library on healthy aging or 20th-century health trends.
